Bowling lanes are standardized. They are the same in every single bowling alley in the world. The width is the same, the length is the same. Bowlers can use their own bowling balls irregardless of where they play.

Bowlers can use their own bowling balls irregardless of where they play. Obviously you haven't done research because each lane is different, even lanes in the same alley. Something called oil patterns, and they're the difference maker for professional bowlers. They can see the oil pattern while normal bowlers wouldn't be able to distinguish it. --- ...

Oil patterns and humans aren't perfect machines. Why doesn't every NFL kicker make 100% from the 30, why doesn't every basketball player make all free throws, why doesn't every dart player hit their target every time, etc.

lol @ people comparing bowling to playing in the NBA or MLB
bowling has no conditional changes, there's nobody blocking you, you only bowl 10 frames, you dont have to run or physically exert yourself in any way other than moving your arm. it's literally just mastering one motion and replicating it. i used to be on a bowling team with my dad in middle school and i figured out that if i bowled in a certain position that i was guaranteed to get it to go right to the 2nd pin, which would sometimes give me a strike. i remember one game bowling like a 200 just doing the same repetitive motion. and this is an 11 or 12 year old with no actual experience; imagine if i did this as my profession full time --- A Green Butter Alt http://i.imgur.com/LhwwG.gif ...

Here's the real answer:
PBA has certain standardized oil patterns on the lanes they use, and they are much more difficult to bowl than the lanes at your local alley. "House oil patterns," as they're called, used at your local alley are designed to allow a much larger margin of error and still allow for the ball to hook into the pocket because the middle of the lane is oiled more than the outside. TC, have you ever gone bowling and missed your shot by 2 or 3 boards, but the ball still hooked into the pocket and you still got a strike? Of course you have. We all have. It's designed like this, or it would be too frustrating for the average bowler, not to mention a novice. On a lane oiled like the ones in PBA, that would never happen. --- The Phantom has spoken! ...

As someone who has bowled from state to national, oil patterns. Synthetic lanes vs wood. Makes a literal world of difference, every bowlers style will have a certain oil pattern that is hell for them

CircleOfManias 08/30/17 2:03:18 PM #22: |
Not only are the oil patterns different from lane to lane, they change constantly as they're bowled on. The exact same throw can be a strike on one frame and a gutterball on another because the oil pattern changed.

Here's the real answer: That has never happened to me. Every time I've bowled the ball went in a straight line from wherever I released the ball to either the gutter or the end of the lane. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn. [Order of the Cetaceans: Phocoena dioptrica] ... Copied to Clipboard!

The ball collects oil as it travels down the lane. The pattern is not even exactly the same from roll to roll. Occasionally, you will see PBA games where the oil has a dye in it. You can see how the lanes break down throughout the match.

Phantom36 posted...Here's the real answer: A few factors at play here: Are you using a good resin ball, or are you using the free house balls they give you at the alley? The balls they give you won't hook whatsoever. If you're using your own ball made from reactive resin, it depends. On most house oil patterns, if you are a right-handed bowler and miss your throw to the left, the extra oil in the middle of the lane helps the ball hold position and not hook too much. But miss to the right, there is less oil and the ball hooks more, allowing it to hook back to the pocket more easily. So either way it's designed to help the average bowler have a decent score, in hopes that they'll have more fun, come back more often, and spend more money. --- The Phantom has spoken! ...

Phantom36 08/30/17 2:30:11 PM #29: |
It's also worth noting, based on what I just described, that when they introduced reactive resin bowling balls in the 90's, it kind of "broke" the sport. Perfect 300 games at pro and amateur level skyrocketed.
Every year (I think they still do it), PBA has a tournament where they only use old-fashioned plastic bowling balls. And they named the tournament after Mark Roth. In some regard you could say that Roth bowling with a plastic ball in the 70s is more impressive than what anyone has accomplished with resin. --- The Phantom has spoken! ... Copied to Clipboard!
